The House of Representatives on Tuesday passed a bipartisan bill to make Daylight Savings Time permanent nationwide by a vote of 308-117. Speaker Pro Tempore Scott DeJarlais played the opening bars of The Beatles' song "Here Comes the Sun" from his phone into the microphone once the bill passed. The bill entitled the "Sunshine Protection Act of 2025" would end the twice-yearly changing of the clocks but would allow states to opt out. The legislation now heads to the Senate, where its fate is uncertain. In 2022, the Senate passed a similar version, but it was not taken up in the House.
